HSC 103 Hotmelt screen coating unit
The Stork HSC 103 hotmelt screen coating unit enables the production of many different types of high quality laminates. It is ideal for everything from functional clothing to laminated automotive parts and medical textiles.

The HSC 103 is based around rotary screen technology and offers many benefits when compared to conventional laminating processes. Very sensitive permeable membranes can be treated and there is high application uniformity. Special heat-resistant screens can withstand temperatures up to 250°C. Laminated materials can remain breathable after bonding and the bond itself is stronger because it has both a chemical and mechanical component. Changing screens is a simple operation that is completed in a couple of minutes. Emptying and cleaning the screen is also extremely straightforward and the entire line, including the melting equipment, is controlled using a touch screen for extra convenience and efficiency.

BestIMAGE software
The latest release of bestIMAGE software will be demonstrated on their booth for interested parties. Stork textile software solutions offer design, repeating, colour separation, stepping and trapping, colouring, texture mapping as well as simulation, calibration of colours and raster graphs in one integrated but modular software package.
